Studd, university student, famed athlete, who abandoned a wealthy inheritance to give his life as a missionary in China in the 1860's. This was a good recommendation. We can learn a lot from C.T. Studd's life. My full review is here http://christianmissionaryuk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/ct-studd-passionate-single-m... I recommend this book for all Christians especially those interested in mission. Nurtured in the lap of comfort, educated at Eton and Cambridge, the hero of the British as a cricket star created a stir in the secular world by renouncing wealth and position to follow Jesus. The illness of his brother brought him face to face with realities and the transitoriness of worldly riches and fame. Henceforward his life was dedicated to the service of God and his fellow-men, and the story of his labors and adventures makes an epic of faith and courage against great odds that will be an inspiration to all who rejoice in a tale of high endeavor. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Combining thematic analysis and stimulating close readings, 'The Collar' is a wide-rangingstudy of the many ways - heroic or comic, shrewd or dastardly - in which Christian clergy have been represented in literature, from George Herbert and Laurence Sterne, via Anthony Trollope, G.K. Chesterton, T.S. Eliot, and Graham Greene, to Susan Howatch and Robertson Davies, and in film and television, such as 'Pale Rider', 'The Thorn Birds', 'The Vicar of Dibley', and 'Father Ted'. Since all Christians are expected to be involved in ministry of some type, the assumptions of secular culture about ministers affect more than just clergy. Ranging across several nations (particularly Britain, the U.S., and Canada), denominations, and centuries, 'The Collar' encourages creative and faithful responses to the challenges of Christian leadership and develops awareness of the times when leadership expectations become too extreme. Using the framework of different media to make inquiries about pastoral passion, frustration, and fallibility, Sue Sorensen's well-informed, sprightly, and perceptive book will be helpful to anyone who enjoys evocative literature and film as well as to clergy and those interested in practical theology.
